do agree? is it bad?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZMoQjvoICEfor comparationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32JTFI0alPk
>>58885936The Digimon one has a bigger punch(?), is that the word?
>>58885936If I hear butter-fly again I'm going to stab whoever made me listen to it.
>>58885936The Digimon OP also has the advantage that pretty much all of the western dubs (that aren't the god awful english one) featured a localized rendition of Butter-Fly as their opening. So there's still some nostalgia here for most people who grew up with the spanish/italian/german/etc version.
>>58885936Butterfly goes beyond being a good anime opening, it's a fucking amazing song in general, meanwhile "Aim to Be a Pokemon Master" is a good pokemon anime opening and that's it.
>>58885957if you clicked that song, you better stab yourself with a butterfly knife
>>58885968Of course I didn't because I know what it sounds like. Koji Wada is overrated.
Koji Wada was simply divine.The English Digimon OP is not as emotional as Butterfly, Biggest Dreamer, etc.
>>58885965Butter-fly is mid as fuck. Koji Wada was a mid as fuck artist. All the best Digimon songs were done by literally anyone other than him.
>>58885936The original(subbed) Digimon Adventure(1999) is an absolute masterpiece. I felt so robbed growing up with the shitty English dub
>>58885972Man Biggest Dreamer is an all time best anime opening, fucking classichttps://youtu.be/T3_zHaghJYc?si=BGmMLuzcf2lxTmNb
>>58885936Pokemon OPs so mid italy had to fix them
i liked the dubbed digimon intro more for some reason
>>58885972>Medicore slop>Mediocre slopThe only good Digimon songs are Believer and Tagiru Chikara, neither one done by Ko(verrated)ji Wad(on't listen to this shit)a
>>58885974>I felt so robbed growing up with the shitty English dubThis. I will never forgive Saban.
>>58886006>The only good Digimon songs are Believer and Tagiru Chikara>Savers and Young Hunters
>>58886011Savers is the best of the anime series by a country mile. Adventure is boring generic poorly animated slop, tamers is edgy filth that has no place in the franchise and skullfucks the Adventure timeline, and while Xros wars is utter dogshit, psychic lover is certifiably not and are behind some of the best tokusatsu music such as basically all the best tracks from Dekaranger aka one of if not the best sentai series ever produced.Butter-fly and biggest dreamer are low energy flops.
>>58886006>Tagiru ChikaraXros Wars had an insane soundtrack across the board. Unfortunately the franchise was mostly abandon by then.
Pokemon anime should have did insert songs more, I think there's like only 2, I could be wrong though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqqMFKo7PG4&list=RDIqqMFKo7PG4&start_radio=1https://youtu.be/Bn3ptZO3k98?si=92ItI70oZ4BILQgghttps://youtu.be/vRpGZwYzDls?si=_Aa9laSzmPxAJG_ayoutube.com/watch?v=aKykLbWSRT8&list=RDaKykLbWSRT8&start_radio=1https://youtu.be/fnOx5ZRDkgw?si=oPVav4sFcr5T9qn9https://youtu.be/oh_AfjLCBcM?si=oKpSVFk9M_U_ftm1
>>58885936No, and I have no idea what this tard is babbling about. The reason Mezase Pokemon Master isn't "beloved in the west" is just that so many Pokefags are dubfags that never even heard it.
>>58886037Nah, the rest of the music in Xros Wars is bland forgettable crap.
>>58886040Pokemon anime lost it's SOUL after the 1st season
>>58886085>forgettablehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqHy7uW0j1chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XoMrBo0gMchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kzUQHHfHOo
>>58885936yeah it's not catchy. it's like a cacophony of sounds
Japanese Digimon opening ≥ English Pokémon opening > Japanese Pokémon opening >>> English Digimon opening
>>58886120Brazilian Digimon opening >>>>> everything else
>>58885936>NOOO, THEY MENTION GIRLS WEARING SKIRTS! AARRGGHH!!! I'M DYING, I'M DYING, I'M DYING!!! I'M LITERALLY MELTING FROM IMPURITY OF THIS... THIS... THIS GOONASLOP! ;o;We should ban Am*ricans from the Internet...
>>58886141Just ask mega zygarde to use nihil light on the country
https://youtu.be/a6xVdR0h8pQTho desu, Japanese Johto opening is superior to everything.
>>58885936Not surprising, Bandai had been in the anime business for decades already and knew a banger anime opening is needed
Yes, rica Matsumoto voice is fucking trash
>>58885936Absolutely and digimon anime is beloved unlike the shitty Pokemon anime lol
>>58885936>pretending literally anime song is goodlol. lmao even.
>>58885936Pokemon's op sounds like any other kids anime op from 1995 to 2005.
The west got different opening and it was better I guess
>>58885936Butter-fly >> any pokemon song ever
>>58885972>Koji Wada was simply divine.this>Butterfly, Biggest Dreamer,genuinely 2 godly pieces of music
>>58885936Both are good in their own ways
>>58885936One of the few things I can give the Americans credit for is that they don't pretend cartoon jingles are supposed to be anything more than cartoon jingles.The way weebs pretend watered down corporate approved anime jingles can be considered actual songs is pathetic.Butter-fly is the better song but literally every real rock song written post Elvis mogs it.
Even in Japan butterfly is more beloved
movie version is okayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0IUewEU9XU
Nobody knows the pkmn jp opening someone posted it on xitter other day and the comments were like they never heard it
>>58886282No one cares what you think, go reddit space somewhere else lil bro.
>>58886287Try reading a fucking book retard. "Reddit spacing" is how paragraphs have worked for centuries.
>>58885936Apparently people (outside of Japan) seem to shit on the 1st JP Pokemon opening a lot, like saying it sounds like a generic '90s anime opening or whatever, but I like it. It's pretty catchy and despite not growing up with it, I prefer it over the English theme.I haven't really watched Digimon but am familiar with the JP theme since everyone memes about it being amazing. I'm actually not huge on it for whatever reason. Like the actual instrumentals are catchy but it feels like the lyrics are super generic and don't really match the show? Guess how I feel about both themes is the reverse of the popular opinion.
>>58886292Don't have a melty after being called out lil bro. Go cool off and come back after you stop steaming.
>>58885989VOGLIO ANDARE DOVE MI VA, E NON FERMARMI QUA
>>58885936>is it bad?Fucking terrible, stopped when i heard pikachu voice
>>58885936My favorite version is the Johto one, i really like it https://youtu.be/kzPCUj3LN64
>>58886310>gets called out for being an illiterate retard>"lol ur melting down"Come back when you have an actual argument nigger.
>>58886319You didn't even post paragraphs, you posted 3 sentences but hit enter twice after each because that is what you do on reddit. You are screeching and seething which is rather funny.
>MUGENDAI NA YUME NO ATO NO
>>58886322I'm not going to abandon centuries of proper grammar because your autistic ass can't be bothered to hit a key more than once.If you were capable of reading a real, physical book at some point in your life, you'd know that an extra space after your second sentence would be the proper formatting.Apparently all of the people who were born in the 21st Century are allergic to paper.
>>58885936The JP Pokémon opening isn't great, but it's ok. The English one is pretty good. So it's not surprising.It's completely the inverse for Digimon. The JP opening is really good while the English one is just utter dogshit. It sounds fucking shit no matter how you spin it. It's an extremt shitty rap with a fucking braindead text. The JP opening is a nice song with a beautiful voice. The difference in objective song quality is absolutely stunning. Only because who have nostalgia for for the Digirap would ever defend it.>>58885957What the fuck? How can you hate Butter-Fly?
>>58886342We have hit critical melty level. Take cover and watch out for falling debris.
>>58886343>Only becauseI meant to write "Only people", fucking brain problems
>>58886343>What the fuck? How can you hate Butter-Fly?It's a mediocre imitation of a real song.
>>58886351What's the "real song" then?
>>58886348Go ahead and keep huffing copium retard.
>>58886355A song written by artists who can stand on their own feet instead of whoring themselves out to an anime company.
>>58886356Okay enough is enough. If you reply to me one more time it will constitute as cyber bullying and I will alert the janitors, moderators, admins and your local police department. So back off lil bro, this dawg got fangs and he knows how to use them.
>>58885936nah, he's just being retarded in twitter echo chamber, both poke and digi jap themes are amazing
>>58886360>crying about cyber bullying>on 4chanI knew you were a pathetic bitch but holy shit dude, that's a level of pathetic I didn't think was possible.Are you going to post the Navy Seals copypasta next? Or are you too much of a newfag to even know what the Navy Seals copypasta is?
>>58886358So you're just making shit up? Post the song(s) it is allegedly imitating instead of spouting nonsense.
>>58886298>I haven't really watched Digimon but am familiar with the JP theme since everyone memes about it being amazing.I think part of this comes from people being surprised and dazzled by what they were "missing out on" if they only watched the Eng localised version before. I will readily admit that part of the reason I think Mezase Pokemon Master is really neat is because it represents some corner of unrealised nostalgia for an even cooler version of PokeMania that I never experienced that *could* have existed elsewhere in the world. I do think it's disappointing the Americans immediately took the reins of Pokemon's global image outside Japan. Meanwhile the local dub of Digimon that aired in my home country back in the day did have a dubbed version of Butterfly instead of the honestly trash theme song the Americans cooked up, and yeah, it's an alright song... but honestly if we're talking about Digimon Adventure's songs we REALLY should be talking about Brave Heart.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjO_MIVLQcE
>>58886374>open google>search for any European or American rock band who recorded a studio album after 1960>realize they were able to get rich off of their own talent long before soulless corporations deemed them safe enough to license music from
>>58886006>believerJust like every single thing related to Savers: undiluted shit
Pokémon JP opening is good, but Butterfly still clears
>>58886006>Ko(verrated)ji Wad(on't listen to this shit)ayour attempts for puns are almost as pathetic as your musical taste
digimon mogs pokemon in everything
>>58886317For me it's 1st Movie > Original 97 > 20th Anniversary > 4th Movie > with my friends > 4th opening > 5th MovieAnd for the english Pokemon theme it's 1st opening = 1st movie >>>> 20th movie >1st movie remake >>> XY opening > final opening
>>58886006Timmy, i sincerely hope your insult game improves once your balls drop. You're not doing well right now.
pretty good ENG cover IMOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLp0ZSJjlQQ
>>58885936Mezase is greatBased on the replies this idiot was cringing at the "upskirt" in the Charizard/Blastoise/Venusaur/Pikachu sequence of the JP OP
>>58886374Fuckin' With My Head by Beck.
>>58886343Also european and south american used the japanese digimon opening and the American Pokemon opening
>>58886808Sweden dubbed the american opening and it wasn't until I was in my late teens when I first heard Butter-Fly.
>>58886946Imagine the kino you missed out on just by being born in Sweden and not Finlandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZYXxJgaTSg
>>58887025We barely had any anime that wasn't primarily aimed at selling merchandise. I didn't really get into anime until I watched Naruto on tv during a trip to the US.
Holy fucking esl brownskins itt
>>58887025That sounded like karaoke. And not doing a great job at it
>>58887025Fingoloid here, I'm happy as fuck that finland retained some form of butter-fly for the OP in general.They first played few episodes with the japanese version, then this version, then they did a "proper" dub of the opening that lasted until the end of the series. Changed dubbing studios and shit. But the main thing is that at least we had a wide selection of butter-fly and braveheart back then, I was genuinely shocked when I learned that in US they dubbed over such great songs. Dont get me wrong;>DIGIMON, DIGITAL MONSTERSis funny on its own, but doesnt compare.
ITSUMO ITSUDEMO UMAKU YUKU NANTEHOSHOU WA DOKO NI NO NAI KEDO (SORYA SOU JA!)
>>58886253It sounds decent in the first SM op
>>58887164And what exactly made you think I'm not a fellow Finngol who already knows all that shit you typed out?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAPcwAOxbBo
>>58887164>I was genuinely shocked when I learned that in US they dubbed over such great songs.As a burger I'm struggling to think of an anime OP that we actually got dubbed instead of outright replaced besides Sailor Moon's.
digimon opening is really nostalgic
>>58887239Didnt doubt your 'loid status, just typed it out since I thought someone could be interested in the dub situation in other countries.But now that you mention it, yeah it probably was pointless.
>>58886120This
>>58887263And now you've gone and ruined it all, anon! I wanted to farm the replies of shocked foreigners all saying>wow, this is so shit lmaoin response to Agapio Racing Team dubbing.Anyway, as I said in a previous post in the thread (>>58886375), Butterfly is nice, but Brave Heart is really where it's at.And the English onlys aren't ready to hear it, but their version of the Pokemon Theme in the first movie is garbage compared to what we got.
My girlfriend tried to get me into Digimon and I never bothered to listen to what she was saying or try the games.
>>58885936It's not bad, but it isn't good either. It's also very much a kid show opening only song, while the eng theme was hype. See the battle with Leon, the jp theme works great for nostalgia but the music itself doesn't fit the climax for a fight, while the eng theme got to hit both nostalgia points and the right music for the last move.Meanwhile Butterfly is just that good and it isn't even the actual power-up hype theme.
>>58887308>Butterfly is nice, but Brave Heart is really where it's at.Absolutely. Bizarre that we didn't get a brave heart dub over here as well, just get it as is. At least I dont recall that we did, a blessing in disguise anyway.>their version of the Pokemon Theme in the first movie is garbage compared to what we gotYou're totally right, it was sweet to hear the song in a theater.
>>58887249They dubbed the first 4 One Piece openings of the funimation dub (and 4kids does have a dub version of We Are that went unused). Rurouni Kenshin, and Yu yu Hakusho had the openings dubbed also
>>58886317My favorite version? The midi that you heard on so many fansites back during the days of Pokémania.
Like, the first OP is serviceable, it's about Pokémon. But Butter-fly is just better, more iconic.Just fuse them and get the perfect kino.>https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22207031
>>58885936Eh, I like Mezase Pokémon Master, it's better than american slop for sure.Butterfly is probably better though, but still I'm more sentimental for Mezase.
Japanese Digimon Rumble Arena is absolute fire despite being a simplistic PS1 fighting game specifically because you can play with the anime themes as BGM.
>>58887313I hope she breaks up with you. She's way too based for you.
>>58885936Americans just got gigacucked with digimon in geenral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOuHn6eiyjI
>>58885965>pokemon anime song about being a pokemon master>digimon anime song about a random chick ovulating over a dudeNo it fucking isnt lol
>>58885972>The English Digimon OP is not as emotional as ButterflyTrue, still love it though.
The Pokemon anime after season 1 is so shit
>>58886040The pokémon anime uses its openings and endings as insert songs, but I don't think it's got any songs that are exclusively insert songs
>>58886049They did if they played Pokémon pinball
>>58887313I would kill a nun for a digimon obsessed gf
Bump
The original Pokemon opening refers to looking up a girl's skirt. They will never admit that in the west.
>>58885964This. Meanwhile in Soain we got the american version of the pokemon oneWith that said, the jp pokemon opening is pretty good too. I loved it live on the First Take as Ash's voice actress sung it as she retired from the job
>>58886343I hate that people only relate Digimon to either butterfly or brave heart. Good songs but fuck bandai for glazing adventure with mid nostalgia OVAs
>>58892671the 2 most popular digimon openings are Butter-fly and Biggest Dreamerhelps that its from the 2 best series as well
>>58885972>Butterfly, Biggest Dreamer, etc.Target clears both ngl
>>58885936Most non-anglo western countries used Butterfly(and Braveheart). I feel so fucking bad for american kids whose childhood defining experience with digimon was thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAf79CEETpI
>>58892530>Where could those Pokemon be?>In the grass?>Underwater?>In your sister's pussy?
>>58885964>pretty much all of the western dubsmy shithole got this abomination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbHLrBg2o8M
>>58885972it's because americans got hijaced by the jews and nigger culture was being shoehorned all throughout the 90s, this is why you got nigger ass digi nigger faggot rapStill, if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have gotten the fatboyslim rendition and medabots introStill, I hate jews
>>58885964>(that aren't the god awful english one)JUST the instrumental is great, it just sucks in its entirety
every time I see this thread I open it up just to listen to Butterfly again
>>58885936They're both good in their own way but we've been brainwashed into making a culture war out of everything
